A caution about using System_Disk The System_disk is an authoritative storage device, but is not suitable for frequent copying and deleting of files and is only suitable for storing important files that are not changed frequently. If files are copied and deleted frequently, the system will automatically perform a System_Disk defragment action, which will consume the total resources of the CPU and cause the OS not to function correctly. When the OS System_Disk defragment action is being performed, the run LED will blink and the defragment action icon will show in the system tray in the bottom right-hand of the pc screen. Tips & Warnings Don not power off the ViewPAC while the defragment is being performed. VP-23W1/VP-25W1 User Manual, version 1.0.9. Last Revised: October 2012 Copyright © 2012 ICP DAS Co., Ltd.

No matter where you are, ICPDAS VCEP provides a convenient environment on the Desktop PC and allows you control your ViewPAC remotely. ICPDAS VCEP is composed of two main components: The “Server” which runs on ViewPAC. The “Client" which runs on a Desktop PC. Once a connection is established between the client and server (initiated by the client), the client will periodically send requests for screen updates and send mouse/key click information to the server to simulate. Each video frame is inter-compressed against the previous frame and then intra-compressed with a modified LZW scheme to minimize the amount of data transmitted from server to client.
